    Are you aware of an api

    that we can use in following use case:

    User books hotel room at booking.com or any other reservation site

    Goes to our website
    Our website says
    1) enter your reservation confirmation number
    2) he enters the reservation number he got from
    Booking.com or any other hotel reservation platform
    3) Hits: submit

    Then the page on our site shows/presents the booking details record on our website

    That’s it.

    pls let me know
    Thank you
    Ash

      If you are talking a generic site that connects to the OTAs, I am not aware of any API outside of those of a channel manager that could provide such functionality, and it would not be cheap.

      But, If you are talking for an individual hotel, yes, we have such an API as part of our PMS

      Such that.
      Your hotel uses OTA Hotel Management PMS and is connected with the channel manager to
      Agoda, Expedia, Booking.com, Traveloka, Ctrip, Goibibo, MakeMyTrip.

      The feature you are after is only available with a full paid license version of the product, as the channel manager is not available with the eval or free versions, The software cloud based, it can be hosted on your own VPS or webserver.

      The API is avialable in the Eval and Free versions, but you need the paid version for the channel manager in order to download the reservations.

      such that.
      1. Reservations are made by the guest on the OTA
      2. the reservation is downloaded into OTA Hotel Management.
      3. The guest later goes onto your website for the hotel, enters the OTA reservation number and their name - and the API looks up the reservation.

      You would need to have both the guest name and the reservation id, as there is no guarantee of unique booking number when you use multiple OTAs at the same time.

      We have a function that will return a list of reservations that have a specific booking reference, but you will need to check the guest name matches.
      hotel_get_advreservation_by_voucherno()

      Note if the guest has a unicode name, then you will need to do a special comparison or use another field such as email address or phone number in the reservation.
